Another Friday morning at the dam on the Danube River. This time 'round it was a foggy misty Ulm, Germany morning.

It has rained here off and on at Vytlacil Artist Residency and has left puddles in unusual places. Puddles and memories of childhood bring nice thoughts to my mind.

 Copying examples from the Italian Renaissance, Karl von Effiner, the director of the Royal Court Gardens, created the gardens and fountains at Linderhof Palace in Bavaria, Germany.

The Renzo Piano designed Foundation Beyeler building is a piece of architectural beauty.  Water, a pond,  plays a role in the design. There's something about water, isn't there.

A bit of a departure from black and white.

Water: a clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid, H₂O, essential for most plant and animal life and the most widely used of all solvents.

Water in Monochrome

All Day I Hear the Noise of Waters by James Joyce

Matthew G. Beall

All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is when, going
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the water's
Monotone. 

Matthew G. Beall

The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing

Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below.
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro.

Despite the haze, there's still light

A bottle of water and sun

  Even when it seems completely bleak, there's still a flicker of light

Hope

 

And out of the darkness we begin to see things a little more clearly
